His Best Friend’s Getting Married In Less Than A Month, And She Just Confessed That She’s In Love With Him
Two years ago, this 35-year-old man sadly lost his wife. Since then, he has not been willing to date anyone new, as he still has a serious amount of trauma related to losing the love of his life.
He’s still so in love with his wife even in her absence, and he is not ready to move on and find another woman.
Instead of dating, he spends all of his time working or being with his 5-year-old daughter, who is a spitting image of his wife.
A year ago, his female best friend B ended up moving to the city where he lives, along with her fiancé.
He was still overwhelmed with grief, but B and her fiancé were so helpful and kind to both him and his young daughter.
Now, he and B have been best friends since they were back in elementary school. They also happened to be neighbors, too.
B is amazing, and they were glued to the hip when they were little, even though B is an extrovert and he’s an introvert.
Things between him and B have always been platonic, and they never tried to date one another as they were only friends.
He and B grew up and attended the same exact college, where he met his wife. He and his wife were inseparable from that day forward, and B really got a bit sad that he no longer spent as much time with her, which caused them to drift.

After graduating from college, he moved away, and he and B only briefly kept in contact. B did attend his wedding, but that was the very last time that he saw her.
When his wife passed away, B reached out to him, and they wound up chatting on the phone for the first time in forever.
But then, when B and her fiancé moved to where he lives, he was so happy to have them both as a support system.
B has helped him enroll his daughter in dance classes and gymnastics, and B even takes her to her classes on occasion. Sometimes, B babysits his daughter as well. He and B’s fiancé have also grown quite close lately, and he thinks B’s fiancé is a wonderful man.
A week ago, B dropped by his house and asked him if it would be possible for them to talk, and her tone was pretty grave.
“She told me that over the last few months, she feels like she has started to develop feelings for me and is not sure anymore if she wants to go ahead with the wedding,” he explained.
“She felt I also had started developing feelings for her. I told her that I am not ready for any relationship before I can deal with my mental health (for which I go to a therapist regularly). She tried to convince me that she loved me, we are soulmates, and she felt that we were meant to be together.”
“However, I do not have the same feelings for her. I love her as a friend, but nothing beyond that. We were both emotional, but she said she was glad we talked about this. She left after that.”
Later on that evening, after she confessed to being in love with him, B phoned him to request that he not tell a single soul about their little chat.
He thought long and hard about it and deduced that spilling the beans to B’s fiancé about her confession was not the right thing to do.
He doesn’t believe he should have the power to destroy B’s wedding by involving her fiancé; it’s on B to decide if this is right.
As for whether or not B plans on going through with her wedding is yet to be seen, as it’s still a few weeks out.
“However, I feel guilty that her fiancé does not know anything about this and is going into a marriage where B might not be fully ready for it,” he said.
“Can you guys give suggestions on what I should do in this case? Am I wrong for not telling her fiancé about our conversation?”
